Book excerpt: Mother Catherine Spalding (1793?1858) was the cofounder and first leader of one of the most significant American religious communities for women?the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth. Spalding also founded several educational institutions, Louisville's first private hospital, and the first social service agencies for children in Kentucky. In 2003, the Louisville Courier-Journal selected Spalding as the sole woman among the sixteen most important persons in Louisville's history. Pioneer Spirit is the first biography of Spalding, who, from the age of nineteen, served the citizens of the Kentucky frontier. By the time of her death, the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth extended far beyond Bardstown, Kentucky, to over one hundred sisters in sixteen convents. Spalding's legacy of service continues today with more than six hundred members worldwide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Senseless school shootings, cure-defying epidemics, threats of environmental disaster: these are the kinds of headlines that riddle the news every day. The challenges we face range from the horrific to the heartbreaking. We wonder, when will it stop? Frustration and fear won’t bring about beneficial change. Passionate men and women are needed to step into the gap and serve as change agents even though many assume that there are few areas left in which to innovate. While many advances have been made, there is still a need for everyday people to create, innovate, and impact their spheres of influence to advance the common good. Motivated by curiosity, conviction, and a conquering spirit, they can move to fill unoccupied spaces to nurture, persuade, understand, and solve some of society’s lingering dilemmas. Those who do the initial significant work in these areas are the ones who bring about such needed change. They are pioneers. The Pioneer’s Way establishes a working definition of the pioneer, explores pioneering versus leadership, and offers essential characteristics of the pioneer. These are illustrated by colorful examples of pioneers both past and present—motivating readers with inspirational, frontiering stories, while equipping them with the journey’s essentials for moving forward to make needed, significant change. Readers will journey down a systematic path that will help them navigate unfamiliar territory so they too can respond to the pioneer’s call and answer it through effective, beneficial action in both their lives and the lives they touch.

Book excerpt: In 1896, a Norwegian immigrant and mother of eight children named Helga Estby was behind on taxes and the mortgage when she learned that a mysterious sponsor would pay $10,000 to a woman who walked across America. Hoping to win the wager and save her family’s farm, Helga and her teenaged daughter Clara, armed with little more than a compass, red-pepper spray, a revolver, and Clara’s curling iron, set out on foot from Eastern Washington. Their route would pass through 14 states, but they were not allowed to carry more than five dollars each. As they visited Indian reservations, Western boomtowns, remote ranches and local civic leaders, they confronted snowstorms, hunger, thieves and mountain lions with equal aplomb. Their treacherous and inspirational journey to New York challenged contemporary notions of femininity and captured the public imagination. But their trip had such devastating consequences that the Estby women's achievement was blanketed in silence until, nearly a century later, Linda Lawrence Hunt encountered their extraordinary story.

Book excerpt: Book Five: White Indians continued Connal Lee Swinton's adventures with his Shoshone family in Great Salt Lake City in the summer of 1859. It picked up where Book Four: An Uneasy Peace, ended. Connal Lee and his family decided to spend their summer building an adobe home on the acreage given them by a grateful church and territory. They thought they were living in a peaceful, post war territory. Short Rainbow, their shaman and first wife, had a premonition. She warned her family to always carry loaded firearms, even on their family land. Their family friend, Major Robert Harris married his housekeeper, Ingrid and adopted her two sons. At their wedding reception, Connal Lee learned of silver and gold discovered in the mountains on the western edge of the Territory of Utah. These mines would soon be called the Comstock Load. They planted an orchard and small garden patch on their farmstead. The entire basin experienced another serious draught that year. The draught brought swarms of locusts into the valley. The ugly brown grasshoppers devoured everything green they could reach. Late one night a rowdy pack of fifteen drunken carousers left the bawdy houses on Whiskey Street heading back to Fort Floyd and nearby Dobie Town. They wanted more to drink so they stopped at the Globe Saloon, just down the path from Connal Lee's homestead. Since it was closed, they shot it up, then began firing at Connal Lee's tent camp glowing uphill in the full moon. Connal Lee and his family grabbed their guns and halted the drunken attack. They had the drunks arrested. With the growing influx of prospectors, adventurers, pioneers, and settlers, the Indians were forced off their traditional hunting grounds. They began attacking wagon trains and settlements in retribution. Criminals escaping the California justice system joined packs of angry renegade Indians to prey on helpless wagon trains. Adventurers from Dobie Town and deserters from Fort Floyd swelled their ranks to dangerous proportions. Because they dressed like Indians to disguise their criminal activities, the packs became known as White Indians. Returning to the city from Fort Floyd, Connal Lee and Major Harris interrupted a White Indian attack on a small wagon train on State Road. One of the survivors was a six year old orphan boy, Kyle. Kyle latched on to Connal Lee and wouldn't let go.
